UNITED STATES LULA C. EUSTICE, OF ROCKFORD, ILLINOIS.

MULTIPLE HEATING ATTACHMENT.

Application filed April 16, 1923.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LULA C. EUSTICE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Rockford, in the county of TVinnebago and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Multiple Heating Attachments; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to an attachment for use in connection with stoves, particular- 1y a single burner of a gas, oil or other stove, to the end that a plurality of utensils or the like be simultaneously heated from the single burner.

The present invention aims to provide a generally improved, eflicient and durable construction for the purpose stated and one which for the most part may be cast in a single piece as from iron, aluminum or other metal.

Another object is to provide such a construction with a novel mounting and heightadjusting means.

Still another object is to provide in such a construction a plurality of openings covered. by grates constituting their hot plates in order to provide for regulation of air through the attachment, in combination with a removable lid for a main hole of the attachment. and suitable damper means to control the heat.

Various additional objects and advantages will become apparent from a consideration of the description following taken in con nection with accompanying drawings illus trating' an operative embodiment.

In said drawings Figure l is a plan view;

Figure 2 is an inverted plan view;

Figure 3 is a view in side elevation;

Figure 4 is av vertical sectional view on the line 4t 1 of Figure 1;

Figure 5 is a detail sectional view on the line of Figure 2, and

Figure 6 is a detail sectional. view on the line 66 of Figure 2.

Like reference characters designate like or similar parts in the different views.

The attachment consists of a casing 10 which may primarily be in a single piece and for instance cast from aluminum, iron or other metal. This casing 10 includes an Serial No. 632,407.

inverted trusto-conical drum as at 11 and fines or conduits 12 in communication therewith and extending therefrom. Drum 11 is open at its bottom and adapted to be disposed directly over a burner of a gas, oil or other stove in order to receive the heat therefrom. The opening at the bottom of the drum is of such size as to be relatively large with respect to the flame given off by the burner so that the flame will be surrounded by an air space.

The drum 11 is adapted to be raised with respect to the burner of the stove. To this end an endless, for instance heart shaped base frame 13 is provided. Legs at 14 and 15 connect said frame to the drum 11 and to the flue-s Leg 14 is made in sections 16 and 17, respectively rigid with the frame 13 and drum 11 and being adjustably connected together as by means of a set screw at 18. Leg 15 comprises sections 19 and 20 respec tively rigid with the frame 13 and the fiues 12. The sections 15 and 19 are adjustably connected together as by means of set screws at 21. The sections 17 and 20 are preferably integral with the casing 10 while the frame 13 is made of a grooved bar which receives the sections 16 and 19 in the groove and has them fastened therein so as to afford rigid connection (see Figure 6). The set screws at 18 and 21 enable the casing to be adjusted in height relative to the particular burner opening over which it is used.

The drum 11 and fines 12 have their tops preferably in different planes. and each adapted to support and heat a receptacle or utensil. The tops of the fines 12 are in a common plane located above the plane of the top of the drum 11. The drum 11 at its top has an annular flange 22 which removably accommodates a lid 23, for instance of the closed type and which is supported on a ledge or flange 24 on the rim 22. In order that there may be; a proper flow of air through the attachment. the tops of the tines 12 covered by plates 25, preferably reticulate or in the form of grates as shown.

The diffusion of the. heat within the easing 10 is controlled by means of. dampers 26 located one within each flue 12. Thesedampers are pivotally mounted by means of spindles 27 with which they are rigid and which spindles are journaled in the walls of the flues and extend a suflicient distance eX teriorly thereof to constitute manipulating end-or handle as at 28. The closed position of the dampers is suggested in dotted lines in Figure 4: and the open position is suggested in full lines in the same figure. In the open position, the dampers 26 are adapted to engage abutments as at 29 provided within the fiues 12. In such position of the dampers, they tend to force the heat downwardly toward the drum 11, that is retard its escape from the drum.

In use with the drum-11 disposed directly over a heat outlet opening such as that of a burner ofan oil stove, the drum 11 will be heated. This prevents the loss of a portion of the heat into the surrounding atmosphere such as usually occurs in the operation of a gas or oil stove as is well known. With the cooking utensils or vessels disposed on the plates 25 and plate .23 or rim 22-, the same will be effectively heated, and the degree of heat at the different heat outlet openings will be regulated by the dampers 26.

Due to the fact that the bottom or lower walls of the fines 12 extend outwardly and upwardly, they serve to efficiently deflect the heat toward the plates 25 through the lines 12. r

As-merely one operative embodiment has been illustrated and described, it is to he understood that changes in the details may be resorted to provided they fall within the spirit and scope of the. invention.

7 I claim as my invention 1. A heatlng attachment having a frame consisting of arcuate portions of substantially similar lengths, a heating drum adframe, a. leg supporting the heating drum extending from substantially one corner of the frame, and legs longer than said first leg supporting the fines and extending from the other corners of the frame.

2. A heating attachment having a drum of substantially inverted frusto-conicalform, said drum being open at its bottom and having a lid at its top, fiues extending from the side wall of the drum in spaced relation and integral therewith, said fines curving outwardly and upwardly, the upper ends of the fines being disposed above the top of the drum and having lids, individual dampers in said flues, a leg depending from the drum, legs longer than said leg depending from adjacent the tops of the fines, and an open endless supporting frame, and said legs extending from corners of said frame.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
